<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aestimare, post: 3213493, member: 98537&quot;]I think there&#039;s no place enough to write L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP XI PART MAX. The earlier Antonine reigns let us know that decennalia can be announced many years before (VOTA SVSCEPTA, TR P XX, Aurelius dupondius RIC 944; then 5 years before the decennalia), but these were nether named, they were announced. Here is an incoherence.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pellinore, you said you were wary of the lettering, I totally share your arguments, and the parallel you underlined with a common Laodicea&#039;s denarius finds an echo in Blake&#039;s interesting observation about the central point that seems to be peculiar to Laodicea. But since Rome a few decades before used this point, it&#039;s impossible to conclude that this characteristic could exclude Rome as a potential mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug, I share your point of view about Rome unofficial style. But another mint, why not ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
